“Me and Earl and the Dying Girl” more than another love story

By Shawna Bratton
Staff Writer

The average human will call this film a “typical love story.” or “just another cancer movie.” those people are wrong. This is not another “The Fault in Our Stars” or “Perks of Being a Wallflower”, it’s different. It is “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl”, this is a story of its own. No sex, a few drugs, typical high school drama, and that’s what everyone loves about it. There a realistic twist. Nobody falls in love, there’s no mean girl that goes out of her way to destroy someone’s life; it’s just Greg, Earl, and Rachel, the dying girl. “It provided a pointed look at what cancer does to someone and how it affects their emotions”, said senior Luke Hellyer. “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl” shows the realism of cancer and high school and friendship in the 21rst Century. This is a highly recommended film which is rated three out of five in the opinion of a Neshaminy High School student.
